Well, then. If your hand is up in the air, I hope you will help me spread the word!

Here’s the deal.

On Thursday, December 10th and Friday, December 11th, all proceeds from sales pertaining to The Gifting Trilogy will go to the Love More Foundation (see below to check out this amazing organization). The more sales on these two days, the more money we’ll get to donate.

Which means, I would LOVE your help spreading the word! Tell everybody you know. Shout it from the rooftops! If ever there was a good excuse to buy a series of books, this is it, since readers will not only be purchasing personal entertainment, they’ll be helping vulnerable women and children from a country that is oh-so near and dear to this author’s heart.

Just so you know, book 1 (The Gifting) is free in digital format, which doesn’t do a whole lot for proceeds. Readers can purchase the entire trilogy for $10 (digital). Proceeds for both paperback and digital apply.

While we’re on the topic of organizations doing amazing, life-changing work in the DRC, I would be remiss if I didn’t introduce you to Reeds of Hope.

You could win ALL of this for only $10! The raffle closes on Saturday, December 13th at 7 pm PST. Click on the link for details.

Even more awesomeness? Visit Reeds of Hope’s FB page, share the link to the Harambee Basket they’ve posted, and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $100 Amazon Gift Certificate.

A Christmas Gift Special

Posted on October 29, 2015December 6, 2015 by Katie Ganshert

I’ve had some readers asking about a box set to give as Christmas gifts this year! While these won’t come in a box, they WILL come autographed and tied with a pretty bow.

A $40 value for only $25 – the perfect gift for the avid readers in your life! Teens are loving the series, and so are the adults. Ladies, and the dudes. It’s all inclusive over here.

I’ll take orders until Monday, November 15th. I want to give myself enough cushion to place the large book order, get them all signed, and off in the mail by early December, before the mail gets too crazy during the busy holiday season. If you’re interested, please send an email to katie@katieganshert.com. Let me know how many full sets you want to purchase, who you want me to sign each set to, and your mailing address. Once I have, I’ll send you an invoice, which will allow you to pay via paypal or check.

Happy reading!

Guest Post and Give Away

It’s an honor to have debut author, J.C. Morrows on the blog today, sharing a bit of wisdom. Check out her new book at the bottom and make sure to enter the giveaway – a signed copy of A Reluctant Assassin, as well as a signed copy of my YA debut, The Gifting.

Words of wisdom … from a novice who has learned some things the hard way.

Don’t judge yourself by anyone else. Don’t even judge yourself by who you used to be.

Far too many people look at this person or that person; the NY Times best-selling author, the millionaire, the pop star, the perfectly put-together mom. You are not them. Your life is not meant to be what theirs is. Something that might actually surprise you: sometimes that pop star wishes she knew what it was like to be a soccer mom with no make-up and a toddler clinging to her as she rushes to get the grocery shopping done.

God has a plan for you. It may not be what you expected. It may not even be what you want, but it is the best thing for you – whether you know it or not.

God knows you better than you could ever hope to know yourself. So, if anyone knows what is best for your life, it would be God!

I had other plans for my novels. I had big plans, big aspirations, big … dreams. Thankfully, God knew better. God knew the path I needed to take. He knew the way, the when, and the how I needed to publish my novel.

I won’t say that every single step I’ve taken has been 100% correct. And I’m absolutely certain they haven’t all been brilliant, but I have tried very hard to stick to His path for my life and so far – He has rewarded those efforts. He is opening doors I never could have.

Will I attain the dreams I once had? As a CBA author it’s unlikely, but I will attain the dream that God has planted in my heart and that is definitely good enough for me.

And I am so very blessed to have such exceptional authors like Katie (aka K.E.) backing me up, supporting me, befriending me, mentoring me.

And we are blessed to be featured on Donna’s BookShelf this month. Be sure to check out her blog and enter her giveaway! There are some fantastic prizes – if I do say so myself.

A Reluctant Assassin

Her mission was simple — get close to the Prince, and kill him. . .

Kayden entered the palace under a lie, one designed to get her close to the Prince. On the outside, she may look like a princess but beneath the mask, a killer lays in wait — for the perfect moment.

Dvarius was not ready to take the crown, nor was he ready for a wife . . .

But due to his father’s unexpected death and an archaic law — he must find a bride before he is allowed to take his rightful place on the throne.

And the one woman he wants — just might be the one who is there to kill him…

She finished her first speculative fiction novel purely for the enjoyment of her mother – also known as her biggest fan.

She gives God all of the glory for her talent and ability!
